Bath re-enamelling in Hill of Keir, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Hill of Keir questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Hill of Keir. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hill of Keir. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
