Trusted bath re-enamelling in Airth

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Bath re-enamelling in Airth without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Airth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths

Airth questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically 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. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your FK2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Airth?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Falkirk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Airth

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
