Bath Re-enamelling in East Dunbartonshire

Bath re-enamelling across East Dunbartonshire: what to expect

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

What you will pay

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in East Dunbartonshire

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Dunbartonshire. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

What we are called out for in East Dunbartonshire

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
