Bath re-enamelling near Old Struan

Bath re-enamelling in Old Struan without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Old Struan

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PH18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Old Struan

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected
