Trusted bath re-enamelling in Uig

Bath re-enamelling in Uig without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Uig, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace in Uig?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Uig

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Uig, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for Uig

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
