Bath re-enamelling in Bucklerheads without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, 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. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal

Bucklerheads questions
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
We work UK-wide, so Bucklerheads is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you cover Bucklerheads?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bucklerheads and the rest of Dundee. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bucklerheads, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
