Bath re-enamelling at your home in Milton of Buchanan
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Milton of Buchanan
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Milton of Buchanan questions
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you work in Milton of Buchanan?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Milton of Buchanan. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Milton of Buchanan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Milton of Buchanan
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
