Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Bath re-enamelling in Markethill, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Markethill questions

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you cover Markethill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Markethill and the rest of Perth and Kinross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it 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. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

When to call us in Markethill

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

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 will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Markethill. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Markethill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PH13 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Markethill

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
