Bath re-enamelling in Polgooth without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body

What affects the price in Polgooth
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Polgooth, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Polgooth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common questions in Polgooth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you work in Polgooth?
We do. We send a technician to Polgooth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
