Common questions in Hamilton West

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hamilton West

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Common problems we fix in Hamilton West

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to care for the repair

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

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Hamilton West get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

What we work on

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