About our bath re-enamelling in Dalmore
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and wear marks under the taps.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Dalmore
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dalmore
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.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

FAQs for Dalmore
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Dalmore
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
