When to call us in Dungate
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Bath re-enamelling in Dungate without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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 day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Dungate, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
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.
Repair or replace in Dungate?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are 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.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dungate
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Dungate?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dungate?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
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.
