About our bath re-enamelling in Kilmacolm
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
If you’re in Kilmacolm and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kilmacolm, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
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.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
