Bath re-enamelling in Philpstoun without replacing anything
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. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Philpstoun questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Philpstoun. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in Philpstoun
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlord and trade work in Philpstoun
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
