Bath re-enamelling in Carradale

What we are called out for in Carradale

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work

About our bath re-enamelling in Carradale

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Carradale

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
