Bath re-enamelling in Donnington, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and several chips and rust patches.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
What affects the price in Donnington
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Donnington, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Donnington
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
