Bath re-enamelling in Lochmaben, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Lochmaben: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Landlord and trade work in Lochmaben
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Lochmaben
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lochmaben. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lochmaben?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
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. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
We price from pictures 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, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
