Bath re-enamelling near Shiskine

About our bath re-enamelling in Shiskine

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

FAQs for Shiskine

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Common problems we fix in Shiskine

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Shiskine. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Shiskine get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Shiskine

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
