How we handle bath re-enamelling in Drummuir

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Drummuir and across Moray.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

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

Repairing versus replacing in Drummuir

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What affects the price in Drummuir

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in Drummuir

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Drummuir

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you work in Drummuir?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Drummuir. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
