Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Biggar and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Questions from Biggar
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
