Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dunkirk
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dunkirk. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunkirk. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice
Dunkirk: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Staffordshire.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Common problems we fix in Dunkirk
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Dunkirk
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Dunkirk
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
