About our bath re-enamelling in Mill of Mains
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, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Mill of Mains and across Dundee.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: 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.
Mill of Mains: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of Dundee?
Across the UK, so Mill of Mains is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Mill of Mains?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mill of Mains for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
