Bath re-enamelling in Doulting, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Questions from Doulting
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Doulting included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
For landlords and businesses

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
