Bath re-enamelling in Caol without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Caol
Do you charge for travel?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What else we do in Caol
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically the cheaper route.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Caol, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common problems we fix in Caol
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
Repairing versus replacing in Caol
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Caol. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the whole UK
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
