About our bath re-enamelling in Donnington
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Donnington: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Donnington
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Donnington
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places

Landlords, agents and businesses in Donnington
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Donnington
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
