Bath re-enamelling in Dordale, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Dordale
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dordale
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Dordale: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Dordale
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
