Bath re-enamelling in Newton of Falkland without replacing anything

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. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we’re called out for in Newton of Falkland

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

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

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
