Bath re-enamelling in Ardrossan without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Ardrossan and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardrossan
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Questions from Ardrossan
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we’re called out for in Ardrossan
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace in Ardrossan?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. 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 doing several items at once reduces it.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that’s rusted through

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
