Bath re-enamelling in Sighthill

Bath re-enamelling in Sighthill without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sighthill

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Sighthill?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sighthill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Sighthill

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

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sighthill

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

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sighthill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Sighthill

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
