Need bath re-enamelling in Ashgill?

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Bath re-enamelling in Ashgill, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashgill and across South Lanarkshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ML9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashgill

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashgill

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • 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 quote, not a guess.

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
