Bath re-enamelling in Donisthorpe without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Donisthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Donisthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Donisthorpe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
