Bath re-enamelling in Cowie, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Cowie
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Cowie
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stirling.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed 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 generally the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Common problems we fix in Cowie
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
