Bath re-enamelling in Cowglen

Bath re-enamelling in Cowglen without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G53 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Cowglen

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
