How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Dolphin
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. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Old Dolphin
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 generally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
