Bath re-enamelling in Ness without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlord and trade work in Ness
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ness
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
