Bath re-enamelling near North Middleton

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling in North Middleton, done in place

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. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Midlothian.

Common questions in North Middleton

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?

Everywhere in the UK, North Middleton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
