What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Most customers in Kingennie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Kingennie, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee.

Kingennie questions
Do you come to Kingennie?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Kingennie and the rest of Dundee. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for Kingennie?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kingennie
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350.
