DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

About our bath re-enamelling in North Connel

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repair or replace in North Connel?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book

Common questions in North Connel

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you cover North Connel?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to North Connel from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Common problems we fix in North Connel

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

How to compare quotes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a full day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
