Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Dawsholm without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dawsholm?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Dawsholm, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Dawsholm questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?

Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
