How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Dunham
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Little Dunham
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
