Bath re-enamelling in Winterborne Whitechurch, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We’re frequently asked to fix several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently 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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Winterborne Whitechurch questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
