Bath re-enamelling in Seafield without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Seafield

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Seafield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

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

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Seafield

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Seafield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Seafield questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What we’re called out for in Seafield

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
