How we handle bath re-enamelling in Limekilns
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Limekilns and across Fife.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Questions from Limekilns
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
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’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Limekilns
Often the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
