Bath re-enamelling near Newlands of Culloden

About our bath re-enamelling in Newlands of Culloden

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

What your bath is made of matters

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’s the part we put right.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newlands of Culloden

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Newlands of Culloden

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Newlands of Culloden. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
