Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trinity

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

About our bath re-enamelling in Trinity

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Questions from Trinity

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Trinity

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Trinity

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
