FAQs for Old Dilton
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Do you work in Old Dilton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Dilton and the rest of Wiltshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
