Common questions in Dowsdale
Do you come to Dowsdale?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dowsdale. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dowsdale
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Landlord and trade work in Dowsdale
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dowsdale
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
