Bath re-enamelling near Ardbeg

Bath re-enamelling in Ardbeg, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and thin, worn enamel in places, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Ardbeg questions

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you work in Ardbeg?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ardbeg. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Common problems we fix in Ardbeg

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
