About our bath re-enamelling in Dale Abbey
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in Dale Abbey
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
