Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Charleston, Dundee
We travel to Charleston for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Charleston
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Charleston and across Dundee.

Common problems we fix in Charleston
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Charleston
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you cover Charleston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Charleston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Charleston?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DD2 postcode.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What else we do in Charleston
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Repairing versus replacing in Charleston
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
