Common questions in Ballantrae
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you cover Ballantrae?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Ballantrae. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Bath re-enamelling in Ballantrae, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Ayrshire.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ballantrae
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ballantrae. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What else we do in Ballantrae
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
