How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Peel
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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Peel, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What else we do in Peel
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Peel?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

FAQs for Peel
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you cover Peel?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Peel and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
