How we handle bath re-enamelling in Muirhouses
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 usually cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
