  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Repairing versus replacing in Cadder

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cadder. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cadder use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
