Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newlandsmuir
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What affects the price in Newlandsmuir
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newlandsmuir
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Newlandsmuir?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairing versus replacing in Newlandsmuir

Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
