Need bath re-enamelling in Lochawe?

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Lochawe

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Lochawe

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

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

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Lochawe?

We do. We send a technician to Lochawe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

We cover the whole UK, including Lochawe and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 pictures, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that is rusted through

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
