Bath re-enamelling in Tarland

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tarland

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Tarland: your questions answered

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Tarland?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Tarland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What affects the price in Tarland

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tarland?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Tarland

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Tarland customers choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tarland, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
