Bath Re-enamelling for Balemartine homes
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Balemartine and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling in Balemartine without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
