Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our bath re-enamelling in Duntocher
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What else we do in Duntocher
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Duntocher?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers generally contact us about:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Questions from Duntocher

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
