Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dibden
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Dibden
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you come to Dibden?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Dibden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Dibden

When to call us in Dibden
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that will not shift
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually 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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get 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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
