Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bladnoch
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bladnoch and across Dumfries and Galloway.

What else we do in Bladnoch
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bladnoch. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Bladnoch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
We turn 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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
We price from pictures 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
