Bath re-enamelling in Colinsburgh

About our bath re-enamelling in Colinsburgh

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colinsburgh

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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.

Common problems we fix in Colinsburgh

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

Colinsburgh questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you come to Colinsburgh?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Colinsburgh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Colinsburgh

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
