What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Carluke. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Carluke, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carluke

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Carluke questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you work in Carluke?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Carluke and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
