Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dornie
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dornie
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dornie use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Dornie. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
