Bath re-enamelling for Tullos homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tullos

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Tullos

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Tullos

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Tullos, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in Tullos get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Tullos: your questions answered

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

Prices start 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.

Is a repair better than a new one?
