DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our bath re-enamelling in Dundrennan
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dundrennan
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dundrennan
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dundrennan use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Dundrennan
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Colour-matched on site

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dundrennan, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
