Bath re-enamelling in Tealing

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tealing

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tealing

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Tealing?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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 typically wins. Prices start from £350. We don’t 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 book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page or bath cost comparison.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tealing. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tealing?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Tealing contact us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tealing use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dundee and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
