Bath re-enamelling in Puddledock without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Puddledock: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Puddledock. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
