Bath re-enamelling in Bothwell

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Bothwell

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

Bath re-enamelling in Bothwell without replacing anything

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. We are often asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and several chips and rust patches, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Bothwell

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

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

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Are there extra charges for Bothwell?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When to call us in Bothwell

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bothwell. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Bothwell

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
