About our bath re-enamelling in Pitcalnie
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Pitcalnie and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pitcalnie. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
