Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
About our bath re-enamelling in Ganavan
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ganavan?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What else we do in Ganavan
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Ganavan questions
Do you cover Ganavan?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ganavan for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?
Across the UK, so Ganavan is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace in Ganavan?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
