About bath re-enamelling in Dundee

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Prices in Dundee

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dundee. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Dundee. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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.

Repairing versus replacing

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

How the damage happens

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
