Bath re-enamelling in Dunchideock, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Dunchideock
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
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 and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Dunchideock
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Dunchideock: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
