Bath re-enamelling near Lochcarron

Bath re-enamelling in Lochcarron, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lochcarron. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Lochcarron

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochcarron use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Lochcarron: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you cover Lochcarron?

We do. We send a technician to Lochcarron for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
