How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dunragit

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Questions from Dunragit

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunragit

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Dunragit

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Dunragit

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
