How we handle bath re-enamelling in Auchterderran
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Auchterderran. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. 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.
