Bath re-enamelling in Auchenheath

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Auchenheath

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Auchenheath

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

What we are called out for in Auchenheath

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Auchenheath

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Auchenheath. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Auchenheath, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Auchenheath. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
