How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crosshouse
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KA2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Crosshouse
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Crosshouse. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we’re called out for in Crosshouse
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stains that won’t shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
