About our bath re-enamelling in Sgiogarstaigh
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Sgiogarstaigh
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sgiogarstaigh use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Sgiogarstaigh questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you come to Sgiogarstaigh?
We do. Technicians travel to Sgiogarstaigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
