About our bath re-enamelling in Dalchalm

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dalchalm

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

The whole UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Dalchalm?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What affects the price in Dalchalm

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Dalchalm. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
