Trusted bath re-enamelling in Rahane

Bath re-enamelling in Rahane without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repair or replace in Rahane?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What we are called out for in Rahane

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Rahane: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide, so Rahane is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

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

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
