For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Bath re-enamelling in Worth Matravers without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
