About our bath re-enamelling in Netherthird

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Netherthird and across East Ayrshire.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Netherthird?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colour-matched on site

What we are called out for in Netherthird

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
