Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carronshore

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Carronshore

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Carronshore

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your FK2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
