Questions from Maidens

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

All of South Ayrshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Bath re-enamelling in Maidens, done in place

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Maidens, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we work on in Maidens

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

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
