Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Drellingore
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Drellingore: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you come to Drellingore?
We do. We send a technician to Drellingore for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When to call us in Drellingore
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Drellingore?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Drellingore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
