Bath re-enamelling for Dunkeld homes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Dunkeld

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Dunkeld

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Dunkeld

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do you work in Dunkeld?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dunkeld and the rest of Perth and Kinross. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dunkeld?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Dunkeld and the rest of Perth and Kinross. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
