About our bath re-enamelling in Liff
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What affects the price in Liff
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not 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.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Questions from Liff
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Dundee?
The entire UK, including all of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Liff customers choose us

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What we’re called out for in Liff

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
