Bath re-enamelling at your home in Auldgirth

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Auldgirth. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, 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.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not 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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Auldgirth

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Auldgirth?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Do you work in Auldgirth?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Auldgirth and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Auldgirth?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
