Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkintilloch?

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kirkintilloch

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkintilloch as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Questions from Kirkintilloch

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kirkintilloch?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Kirkintilloch and the rest of East Dunbartonshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
