Bath re-enamelling at your home in Balgowan
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Balgowan
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When to call us in Balgowan
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Balgowan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Balgowan
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Everything repaired in place
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
