Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tighnabruaich. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Tighnabruaich

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When to call us in Tighnabruaich

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
