When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Haugh of Urr?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Haugh of Urr, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Haugh of Urr

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Haugh of Urr

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
