Book bath re-enamelling in Dunblane

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Dunblane

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Dunblane questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work in Dunblane?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunblane from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Dunblane

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

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 quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

Surfaces we repair

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