Bath re-enamelling for Ullapool homes

Landlord and trade work in Ullapool

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

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Bath re-enamelling in Ullapool, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ullapool. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Ullapool. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ullapool

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

Do you come to Ullapool?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ullapool. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Ullapool?

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
