How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coylton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Coylton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Coylton

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

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Coylton

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common problems we fix in Coylton

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we work on in Coylton

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