Bath re-enamelling in Ditcheat without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Ditcheat
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Ditcheat
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What else we do in Ditcheat
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we’re called out for in Ditcheat
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
