- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive

Bath re-enamelling in Dorcan without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work

Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

- One picture of the whole bath
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dorcan, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
