Common problems we fix in Kirktown of Fetteresso

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

How to compare quotes

Bath re-enamelling in Kirktown of Fetteresso without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We are frequently asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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 typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Kirktown of Fetteresso, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Kirktown of Fetteresso questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Kirktown of Fetteresso?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
