How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dreghorn
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Dreghorn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repair or replace in Dreghorn?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Dreghorn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Dreghorn questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
