About our bath re-enamelling in Lochearnhead
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochearnhead
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochearnhead as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
