Repairing versus replacing in Dobs Hill
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dobs Hill
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
