Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dalton Piercy
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dalton Piercy as everywhere else we work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
FAQs for Dalton Piercy
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dalton Piercy
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Dalton Piercy contact us are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
