Questions from Doonfoot
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Doonfoot without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Doonfoot?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Doonfoot customers choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
