How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Blair
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Old Blair, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Old Blair
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
