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.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- 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
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

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.
