About bath re-enamelling in Dumfries and Galloway

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Prices in Dumfries and Galloway

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What’s near Dumfries

Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Myles Bar, Dumfries Academy and Dumfries and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Dumfries itself: Dumfries station. A little further out are Gracefield Arts Centre (under half a mile north) and Dumfries Castle (1 mile south). Not far away are Lochaber Loch.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Dumfries and Galloway

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Common reasons people in Dumfries and Galloway contact us are:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
