FAQs for Temple Dinsley
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Bath re-enamelling in Temple Dinsley, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Temple Dinsley
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Temple Dinsley
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SG4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
