The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Muirkirk without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Muirkirk

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
