  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Inverinan

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Inverinan

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Inverinan: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Inverinan?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Inverinan and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
