How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ardfern
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Ardfern
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What your bath is made of matters
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 check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ardfern
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

- An outdated colour you’d like to change

- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book

- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Ardfern: your questions answered
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Ardfern included. There is no extra charge for travel.
