About our bath re-enamelling in Rosemarkie

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Rosemarkie

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rosemarkie as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Rosemarkie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Rosemarkie. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
