Bath re-enamelling in Dimson, done in place
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 an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dimson
For anyone letting property in or around Dimson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:

- A bath split right through the body

Questions from Dimson
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dimson?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
