Bath re-enamelling in Meikleour without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Meikleour as everywhere else we work.

Meikleour: your questions answered
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Meikleour?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PH2 postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Meikleour, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Meikleour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Meikleour, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Meikleour
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to look after the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
