Need bath re-enamelling in Maybury?

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Maybury

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Maybury

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Maybury

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

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