- Worn patches where water runs and sits

- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Winterborne Kingston
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Common questions in Winterborne Kingston
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
