Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Easter Kinkell

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Easter Kinkell and across Highland.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Easter Kinkell

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be fumes?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Common problems we fix in Easter Kinkell

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Easter Kinkell

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Easter Kinkell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
