How we handle bath re-enamelling in Invergowrie

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Invergowrie

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
