How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Braehead. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braehead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Braehead

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Braehead?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your ML11 postcode.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Braehead

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

Repairing versus replacing in Braehead

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 are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
