How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pumpherston
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Pumpherston
If you manage property in Pumpherston, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Pumpherston
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pumpherston
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
