Common problems we fix in Lumsden
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How the visit 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 a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lumsden, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lumsden use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
