Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Bath re-enamelling in Wilton Dean, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Wilton Dean: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Wilton Dean?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
