Bath re-enamelling in Steelend

Bath re-enamelling in Steelend, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Steelend, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

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

Common questions in Steelend

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Common problems we fix in Steelend

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

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

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Repairing versus replacing in Steelend

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Steelend. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  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. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get 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 quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
