The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Balloch

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Common problems we fix in Balloch

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Balloch questions

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Are there extra charges for Balloch?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
