About our bath re-enamelling in Ardwell
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ardwell
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, 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.

What else we do in Ardwell
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ardwell
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
