Trusted bath re-enamelling in Strachan

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Strachan. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

Bath re-enamelling in Strachan without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Strachan

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Strachan is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Strachan

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
