Bath re-enamelling near Aird

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aird

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we’re called out for in Aird

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Aird. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Aird

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be fumes?

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

Do you cover the whole of Na h-Eileanan Siar?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you work in Aird?

We do. We send a technician to Aird for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
