Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pinwherry

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Pinwherry and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Pinwherry. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pinwherry

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

Clients usually contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
