About our bath re-enamelling in Stirling
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Questions from Stirling
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Stirling, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What affects the price in Stirling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Stirling. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stirling
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Stirling
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stirling?

- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
