How we handle bath re-enamelling in Buchlyvie
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Buchlyvie and across Stirling.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buchlyvie
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Buchlyvie. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
