Bath re-enamelling in Doe Lea, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Doe Lea, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Doe Lea
Do you come to Doe Lea?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Doe Lea from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Doe Lea?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Doe Lea contact us are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Doe Lea as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace in Doe Lea?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
