How we handle bath re-enamelling in Catrine

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Catrine questions

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across East Ayrshire.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Catrine?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Catrine?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Catrine, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
