About bath re-enamelling in Falkirk

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and thin, worn enamel in places.

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Pricing in Falkirk

Signs you need bath re-enamelling

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Falkirk questions

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Are there extra charges for Falkirk?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
