What affects the price in South Alloa

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Repair or replace in South Alloa?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Alloa?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in South Alloa, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

South Alloa: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling last?

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

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
