How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dalreoch
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dalreoch
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are there extra charges for Dalreoch?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
