Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Dodington, South Gloucestershire
Bath re-enamelling across Dodington and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Bath re-enamelling in Dodington without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dodington
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dodington
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
