Bath re-enamelling in Friockheim, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Friockheim
Do you cover the entire of Angus?
The entire UK, including all of Angus. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Friockheim?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Friockheim and the rest of Angus. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Friockheim, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What we are called out for in Friockheim
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before you book anyone
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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’s what we repair.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
