Bath re-enamelling in Rosneath without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rosneath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions from Rosneath
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Landlord and trade work in Rosneath
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G84 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
