Bath re-enamelling in Poolewe

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our bath re-enamelling in Poolewe

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland.

Honest limits

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that is rusted through

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

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

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Poolewe clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What affects the price in Poolewe

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Common questions in Poolewe

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Will the new finish last?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Poolewe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
