How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dones Green
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dones Green?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dones Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Dones Green: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dones Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
