Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Dunton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Dunton: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Buckinghamshire?
All of Buckinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you work in Dunton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dunton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Landlord and trade work in Dunton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Dunton
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What else we do in Dunton
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Dunton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
