Bath re-enamelling for Rankinston homes

Landlord and trade work in Rankinston

If you manage property in Rankinston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rankinston

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Rankinston

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Rankinston

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Rankinston?

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

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