How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kirkconnel

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kirkconnel. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirkconnel. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Kirkconnel: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common problems we fix in Kirkconnel

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
