Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunmere
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL31 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Dunmere
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dunmere
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Dunmere
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
