How we handle bath re-enamelling in Auchmithie
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Angus and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairing versus replacing in Auchmithie
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Auchmithie: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
