Bath re-enamelling for Tayvallich homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tayvallich

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can normally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Tayvallich

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Tayvallich?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Tayvallich

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we are called out for in Tayvallich

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Tayvallich

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Tayvallich. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
