Bath re-enamelling for Bridge of Orchy homes

Bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Orchy without replacing anything

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bridge of Orchy

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Bridge of Orchy questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a smell?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work in Bridge of Orchy?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Bridge of Orchy from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bridge of Orchy and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
