How bath re-enamelling works in West Dunbartonshire

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

What we are called out for in West Dunbartonshire

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

FAQs for West Dunbartonshire

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
