Bath re-enamelling in Dunscore, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Dunscore
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repair or replace in Dunscore?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunscore. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunscore
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
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. Most visits take most of the day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
