Bath re-enamelling near Craighouse

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craighouse

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Craighouse: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craighouse

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

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 quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Craighouse

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Craighouse

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for these signs:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
