- Resurfacing from £350

What affects the price in Dawley
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Bath re-enamelling in Dawley without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Dawley: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover the entire of Telford and Wrekin?
The whole UK, including all of Telford and Wrekin. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dawley?
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Lots of chips and rust spots

- Thin, worn enamel in places

What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
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
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
