Bath re-enamelling for Cuidhir homes

Aftercare tips

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Cuidhir, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Cuidhir

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cuidhir. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Cuidhir questions

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Landlord and trade work in Cuidhir

If you manage property in Cuidhir, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. 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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
