Bath re-enamelling near Etteridge

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Etteridge

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions from Etteridge

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Highland.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Etteridge

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Etteridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Etteridge

For anyone letting property in or around Etteridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
