Questions from Murieston

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Murieston?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH54 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Murieston

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Murieston

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we repair

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