Bath re-enamelling in Pencaitland, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise 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.

Pencaitland: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pencaitland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Pencaitland
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
