Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ardler
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Ardler?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ardler from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ardler
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
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 usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
