Bath re-enamelling for Monifieth homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Monifieth

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

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

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

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

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

When to call us in Monifieth

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Monifieth contact us are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Questions from Monifieth

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Are there extra charges for Monifieth?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
