How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cadder
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we are called out for in Cadder
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Dunbartonshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cadder. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Cadder questions
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
