When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Claddach Kirkibost without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

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

Repair or replace in Claddach Kirkibost?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Claddach Kirkibost?

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Claddach Kirkibost

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit 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 most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Claddach Kirkibost

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
