Bath re-enamelling in Timsgarry without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Timsgarry?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Timsgarry: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Timsgarry?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Timsgarry and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Timsgarry?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Timsgarry from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Timsgarry

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
