Common problems we fix in An Druim Beag

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in An Druim Beag

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to An Druim Beag. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in An Druim Beag and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from An Druim Beag

Will there be fumes?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you come to An Druim Beag?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Surfaces we repair

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