About our bath re-enamelling in Whauphill
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Whauphill
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Dumfries and Galloway?
Across the UK, so Whauphill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Whauphill.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Whauphill?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
