Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carnoustie
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Angus.

What else we do in Carnoustie
Repairing versus replacing in Carnoustie
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Carnoustie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Carnoustie: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Carnoustie.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Carnoustie and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carnoustie
For anyone letting property in or around Carnoustie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
