Bath re-enamelling in Sinclairston without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Ayrshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace in Sinclairston?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we’re called out for in Sinclairston
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Sinclairston: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Sinclairston and the rest of East Ayrshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sinclairston.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Sinclairston
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
