Bath re-enamelling at your home in Donside Village
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Donside Village. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Donside Village. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Donside Village, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Donside Village: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
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
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Landlord and trade work in Donside Village
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
