Bath re-enamelling in Dowlish Wake, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day.
- 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.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When to call us in Dowlish Wake
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
FAQs for Dowlish Wake
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Dowlish Wake and the rest of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
