- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Kirktonhill, done in place
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kirktonhill. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
What we’re called out for in Kirktonhill
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 what we repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Kirktonhill questions
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Kirktonhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Kirktonhill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
