How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barnton

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Barnton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Barnton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barnton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Barnton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Barnton questions

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Common problems we fix in Barnton

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
