Bath re-enamelling in Palnackie, done in place
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. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Palnackie
If you manage property in Palnackie, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Palnackie

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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
FAQs for Palnackie
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
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 a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
