Trusted bath re-enamelling in Gartness

Bath re-enamelling in Gartness without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gartness

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in Gartness

Letting agents frequently 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.

For anyone letting property in or around Gartness, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
