Bath re-enamelling at your home in Craigellachie

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Craigellachie.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Craigellachie

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not 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 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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
