About our bath re-enamelling in Inverlochy

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Inverlochy

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in Inverlochy

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

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

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Inverlochy: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Repairing versus replacing in Inverlochy

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Inverlochy clients choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Inverlochy. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
