Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Moffat, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Moffat and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Moffat

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

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.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Moffat: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Moffat?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

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

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
