Bath re-enamelling in Airdriehill

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

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

Bath re-enamelling in Airdriehill without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Airdriehill?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

Airdriehill questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Lanarkshire.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you work in Airdriehill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Airdriehill and the rest of North Lanarkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Airdriehill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Airdriehill

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ML6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
