Bath re-enamelling in Duthil, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Duthil. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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.

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most clients in Duthil get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Duthil

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Questions from Duthil

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
