Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coulport
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Coulport questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?
Everywhere in the UK, Coulport included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Repair or replace in Coulport?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
