DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Questions from Kirkinner
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Kirkinner

Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
If you manage property in Kirkinner, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What else we do in Kirkinner
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkinner
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
