Bath re-enamelling in Anderston

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site

Bath re-enamelling in Anderston, done in place

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, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We are often asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Anderston

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Anderston

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anderston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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