Bath re-enamelling in Dimmer, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dimmer as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Dimmer
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
FAQs for Dimmer
Do you cover the whole of Somerset?
We cover the entire UK, including Dimmer and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
