How we handle bath re-enamelling in St John's Town of Dalry
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St John's Town of Dalry as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St John's Town of Dalry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
