Bath re-enamelling at your home in Old Dailly
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Old Dailly. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we are called out for in Old Dailly
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
Repairing versus replacing in Old Dailly
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Old Dailly
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Old Dailly
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for Old Dailly?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, 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 you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
