When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Brae get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brae
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
