How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dumfries

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Dumfries

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dumfries?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Landlord and trade work in Dumfries

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

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

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What affects the price in Dumfries

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Dumfries. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
