Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

FAQs for Kirkcowan
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Kirkcowan
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Kirkcowan. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
