What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Wemyss Bay

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wemyss Bay

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Wemyss Bay included. Travel is included in the price.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What affects the price in Wemyss Bay

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Wemyss Bay. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

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

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Wemyss Bay?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. 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.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we’re called out for in Wemyss Bay

Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Look out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
