How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tarbolton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Tarbolton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tarbolton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Tarbolton clients choose us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tarbolton
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Ayrshire.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long does re-enamelling last?

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tarbolton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
