Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Bath re-enamelling in Dorstone, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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 until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dorstone
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HR3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Dorstone
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Dorstone
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
