How we handle bath re-enamelling in Toward

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Toward

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Toward

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you come to Toward?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Toward. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. 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 care for it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Toward

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toward as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
