Bath re-enamelling for Reddingmuirhead homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Reddingmuirhead

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Reddingmuirhead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Questions from Reddingmuirhead

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

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Reddingmuirhead?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Reddingmuirhead for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
