Bath re-enamelling in Dowsby without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Dowsby
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When to call us in Dowsby
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 next day.
Before we arrive

Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
