How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burnside of Duntrune
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Common questions in Burnside of Duntrune
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on 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.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
