Bath re-enamelling at your home in Isbister
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Isbister as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Isbister
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Isbister, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace in Isbister?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Isbister: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
