When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Dousland

About our bath re-enamelling in Dousland
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Dousland
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Dousland. What changes the price is:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Dousland
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
