About our bath re-enamelling in Kilmaurs

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. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Landlord and trade work in Kilmaurs

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Kilmaurs customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we’re called out for in Kilmaurs

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

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

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Questions from Kilmaurs

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Ayrshire.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kilmaurs. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

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