Bath re-enamelling near Skelmorlie

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

We price from photos 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’ll get a fixed figure back.

Skelmorlie: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Skelmorlie?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PA17 postcode.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Skelmorlie?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Skelmorlie

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
