Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kincardine O'Neil

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Advice

FAQs for Kincardine O'Neil

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

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.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do I have to be there?

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
