We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunwich
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Dunwich questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dunwich?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
