Bath re-enamelling in Dunollie without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Dunollie: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Dunollie and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Dunollie?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Dunollie

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
