Trusted bath re-enamelling in Blantyre

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Bath re-enamelling in Blantyre, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift, we can typically put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Same prices wherever you are

What we are called out for in Blantyre

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Common questions in Blantyre

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Are there extra charges for Blantyre?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
