Bath re-enamelling in Town Yetholm

Bath re-enamelling in Town Yetholm, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Town Yetholm: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Town Yetholm.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Town Yetholm?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Town Yetholm?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Town Yetholm get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Town Yetholm clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Our hiring checklist

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
