About our bath re-enamelling in Donington on Bain
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Donington on Bain as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Donington on Bain
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Donington on Bain questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are there extra charges for Donington on Bain?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Donington on Bain. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
