Repairing versus replacing in Lower Gledfield

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Bath re-enamelling in Lower Gledfield, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Lower Gledfield questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Lower Gledfield.

Will there be fumes?

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Gledfield

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
