Bath re-enamelling in Bannockburn, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Bannockburn

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before booking

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bannockburn. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Bannockburn?

The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bannockburn

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bannockburn?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your FK7 postcode.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
