Bath re-enamelling in Colliston without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colliston
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover the entire of Angus?
All of Angus, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
