Bath re-enamelling in Pather without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pather and across North Lanarkshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Questions from Pather
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you cover the whole of North Lanarkshire?
We work UK-wide, so Pather is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pather
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
