Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lochdon

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 following day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When to call us in Lochdon

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Common questions in Lochdon

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Lochdon and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
