How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aith
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. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Aith questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Are there extra charges for Aith?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Aith
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before 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.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
