How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Bath re-enamelling in Drumoig without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Drumoig

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover Drumoig?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Drumoig. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Drumoig, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Drumoig?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches

Our hiring checklist

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
