Book bath re-enamelling in Coldingham

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

About our bath re-enamelling in Coldingham

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Coldingham

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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 for the finish to last.

Questions from Coldingham

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Coldingham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Coldingham and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Advice

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
