About our bath re-enamelling in Dane End
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dane End as everywhere else we work.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dane End. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
When to call us in Dane End
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if they find more damage
- When it can be used again
Dane End: your questions answered
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you work in Dane End?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dane End for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dane End. Prices don’t change with location.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
