Bath re-enamelling at your home in Doniford
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Doniford?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Stains that will not shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Doniford: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
