Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dolphinton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dolphinton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Dolphinton
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Dolphinton
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
