Bath re-enamelling in Gatehead without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Questions from Gatehead
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Ayrshire.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Repairing versus replacing in Gatehead
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing 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, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- A fixed quote before booking
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gatehead?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
