Bath re-enamelling in Guardbridge without replacing anything
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 day after. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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 work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Local landmarks in Guardbridge

Well-known places in the area include The R&A World Golf Museum (3.8 miles east) and St Andrews Community Hospital (4.2 miles south-east).
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Guardbridge, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
