Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dry Doddington
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dry Doddington
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

FAQs for Dry Doddington
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 normally cheaper.
