Bath re-enamelling near Dalmally

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dalmally

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Dalmally. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

If you’re in Dalmally and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Dalmally

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

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

When to call us in Dalmally

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Questions from Dalmally

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
