Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkurd
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Kirkurd questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Kirkurd. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When to call us in Kirkurd
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers generally contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
