Bath re-enamelling in Kirkgunzeon without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kirkgunzeon
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dumfries and Galloway.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkgunzeon
Letting agents often 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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repairing versus replacing in Kirkgunzeon
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkgunzeon
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
