How we handle bath re-enamelling in Burnfoot
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Lanarkshire.

What else we do in Burnfoot
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ML11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Burnfoot
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Burnfoot questions
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Burnfoot?
We do. We send a technician to Burnfoot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
