Bath re-enamelling for Auldhouse homes

Bath re-enamelling in Auldhouse without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.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’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Auldhouse questions

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Auldhouse?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G43 postcode.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do you cover Auldhouse?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Auldhouse and the rest of Glasgow. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What affects the price in Auldhouse

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Auldhouse

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

The process

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 a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Auldhouse

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Comparing quotes

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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