How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunure
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Dunure
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Dunure?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Dunure for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Most clients in Dunure get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What affects the price in Dunure
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunure. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
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 pay close attention there.
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 is what we repair.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Dunure?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dunure
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
