Bath re-enamelling in Ceann Loch Gilb without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Ceann Loch Gilb. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ceann Loch Gilb. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
