Bath re-enamelling in Denholm, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Denholm

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Denholm use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Denholm?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Questions from Denholm

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
