What we’re called out for in Durlock
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Bath re-enamelling in Durlock, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Durlock
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Durlock and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common questions in Durlock
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
