Bath Re-enamelling for Tolvaddon homes
Our repair technicians come to Tolvaddon for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Tolvaddon
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Tolvaddon
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tolvaddon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- No need to remove anything

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Common questions in Tolvaddon
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
