Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Riverside of Blairs
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Riverside of Blairs for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
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
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Riverside of Blairs?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
