When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Bath re-enamelling in Culgaith without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
