Book bath re-enamelling in Culloden

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Culloden?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Culloden, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Culloden

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Culloden questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Culloden

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Culloden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
