How we handle bath re-enamelling in Cairneyhill
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cairneyhill: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
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.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KY12 postcode.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Cairneyhill
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Cairneyhill

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
