Bath re-enamelling in Kilmun without replacing anything

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Kilmun questions

Do you work in Kilmun?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kilmun. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilmun

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What we’re called out for in Kilmun

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
