Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ballingry
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What affects the price in Ballingry
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ballingry. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ballingry
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Landlord and trade work in Ballingry
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ballingry
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
