How we handle bath re-enamelling in Skye of Curr

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skye of Curr and across Highland.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to look after the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

Common questions in Skye of Curr

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
