Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Warriston

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Warriston

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.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What do you need from me?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Warriston

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Warriston?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Warriston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Warriston

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
