Bath re-enamelling for Port Askaig homes

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Bath re-enamelling in Port Askaig without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Port Askaig: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Do you work in Port Askaig?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Port Askaig for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
