Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cargenbridge questions
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Cargenbridge and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Cargenbridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cargenbridge and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
