How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kinlochleven

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

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

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kinlochleven

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

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

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kinlochleven: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kinlochleven?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PH50 postcode.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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