Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bridge of Weir

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace in Bridge of Weir?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What affects the price in Bridge of Weir

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Bridge of Weir. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Bridge of Weir

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
