Bath Re-enamelling for Pitkerro homes
Problem with your bath in Pitkerro? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Pitkerro, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlord and trade work in Pitkerro
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Pitkerro, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What affects the price in Pitkerro
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pitkerro. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Pitkerro get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pitkerro?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Questions from Pitkerro
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Pitkerro and the rest of Dundee. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
