Bath re-enamelling in Wool without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What else we do in Wool
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Questions from Wool
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
About Wool
Wool is about 10 miles east of Dorchester, in Dorset. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Our repair technicians cover all 462 towns and villages across Dorset, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the BH20 postcode area. Local streets include High Street Close, Station Road and High Street, all of which we cover. We also travel to Giddy Green (1 mile west), Coombe Keynes (1 mile south), East Knighton (2 miles west), Blacknoll (2 miles west) and Portway (2 miles west). Further out, we also cover Weymouth (11 miles south-west), Dorchester (10 miles west), Wimborne Minster (14 miles north-east), Blandford Forum (13 miles north), Broadstone (12 miles north-east) and Corfe Mullen (11 miles north-east).
Around Wool
We visit homes around The Ship Inn, St Mary & St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Roman Catholic Church of St Joseph, among other places. There’s a railway station in Wool itself: Wool station. Other landmarks nearby include Wareham Community Hospital (4.9 miles east). The countryside around Wool includes Tadnoll and Winfrith Heath and Bindon Hill.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Wool, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we are called out for in Wool
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
