Bath re-enamelling near Kinloss

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Colour-matched on site

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

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.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Kinloss. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kinloss

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
