When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Surfaces we repair

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Westmuir

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. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Westmuir

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Westmuir.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

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

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 often lifts.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Angus and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Westmuir

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
