How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandhead

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sandhead as everywhere else we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandhead

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why Sandhead clients choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

What affects the price in Sandhead

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Sandhead. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Common problems we fix in Sandhead

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Sandhead. Prices don’t change with location.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
