Bath re-enamelling near Inverugie

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Inverugie

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Inverugie

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Inverugie?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Inverugie?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Inverugie.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
