Bath Re-enamelling for Balfron homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Balfron, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Balfron and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Questions from Balfron
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

When to call us in Balfron

Common reasons people in Balfron contact us are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
