Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gorthleck

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gorthleck and across Highland.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Repair dripping taps early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gorthleck

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you come to Gorthleck?

We do. Technicians travel to Gorthleck from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What affects the price in Gorthleck

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

The type of damage
How many items we do on one visit

How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

Details of any past repairs
The material, if you know it
A picture taken from further back
A clear, close picture of the problem area

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