If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Dunsden Green questions
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 our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Are you accredited?

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
