About our bath re-enamelling in Dowlish Ford
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Dowlish Ford questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What else we do in Dowlish Ford
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
