How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dinton
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dinton
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Dinton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dinton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When to call us in Dinton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
