Bath re-enamelling in Eskdalemuir without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Eskdalemuir as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Eskdalemuir

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DG13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Eskdalemuir

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

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

Common problems we fix in Eskdalemuir

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
