About our bath re-enamelling in Dandy Corner
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Dandy Corner
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We work UK-wide, so Dandy Corner is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Dandy Corner

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
