Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Plean

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

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Plean

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Do you work in Plean?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Plean and the rest of Stirling. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 is what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
