Trusted bath re-enamelling in Crieff

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 check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling in Crieff, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Crieff, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crieff

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Perth and Kinross, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

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

How soon can you come?

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

The process

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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Crieff

Repair or replace in Crieff?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No need to remove anything
