Bath re-enamelling in Kilconquhar, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kilconquhar. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kilconquhar?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

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

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Kilconquhar

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
