About our bath re-enamelling in Dobcross
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Dobcross
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dobcross. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repairing versus replacing in Dobcross

Dobcross questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
