Bath re-enamelling near Forss

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Forss

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Forss

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you come to Forss?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Forss and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What affects the price in Forss

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Forss. What changes the price is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs 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 photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlord and trade work in Forss

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Forss use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
