Bath re-enamelling in Great Doddington without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We’re frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NN29 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Great Doddington
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Repair or replace in Great Doddington?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
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.
