DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What else we do in Coaltown of Balgonie
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Coaltown of Balgonie. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Coaltown of Balgonie
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Coaltown of Balgonie
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Coaltown of Balgonie questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Coaltown of Balgonie?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
