Bath re-enamelling in Kirkton of Auchterhouse, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
FAQs for Kirkton of Auchterhouse
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Are there extra charges for Kirkton of Auchterhouse?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kirkton of Auchterhouse?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Kirkton of Auchterhouse. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
