Bath re-enamelling in Gateside

About our bath re-enamelling in Gateside

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gateside

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Gateside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gateside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KA15 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gateside?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gateside. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Gateside

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Gateside

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

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
