Bath re-enamelling in Muirton without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Muirton: your questions answered

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Muirton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to Muirton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Muirton and the rest of Moray. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A metal bath with a through crack

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Muirton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Muirton

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
