Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dundee. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Dundee, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What’s near Dundee

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Questions from Dundee
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 resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Dundee. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
