How we handle bath re-enamelling in Strathmartine

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We’re often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

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

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Strathmartine

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Strathmartine, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Strathmartine

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before you book

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Strathmartine, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
