Questions from Dores
Do you come to Dores?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dores for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dores
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dores
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Dores. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Dores
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
