Bath re-enamelling near Blochairn

Bath re-enamelling in Blochairn, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and thin, worn enamel in places.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Blochairn

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Blochairn. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blochairn, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Blochairn: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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