The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Gargunnock without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common problems we fix in Gargunnock

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gargunnock

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will the bath be moved?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Gargunnock clients choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
