Bath re-enamelling near Culbokie

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Culbokie use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling in Culbokie without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Culbokie

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Advice

Common questions in Culbokie

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Culbokie?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Culbokie?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Culbokie, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, 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 frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
