How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkton
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What else we do in Kirkton
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkton. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- No need to remove anything
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Kirkton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
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.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
