Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dunley
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Dunley and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Dunley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Dunley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Dunley
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunley. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Dunley, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common questions in Dunley
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunley
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
