DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tain
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common problems we fix in Tain
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
