Bath re-enamelling in Edzell

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Edzell

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for Edzell?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When to call us in Edzell

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Edzell customers choose us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
