Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for The Dunks. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why The Dunks customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlord and trade work in The Dunks

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in The Dunks

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Common problems we fix in The Dunks

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in The Dunks

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you cover The Dunks?

We do. Repair technicians travel to The Dunks from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
