Bath re-enamelling in Dolphin Town, done in place
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace in Dolphin Town?
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. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dolphin Town
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Dolphin Town
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
