FAQs for Smoo

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Smoo without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Smoo and across Highland.

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Smoo

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Smoo, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Smoo. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Smoo and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
