Bath re-enamelling near Craigend

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Craigend

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Craigend and across Glasgow.

Questions from Craigend

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Craigend. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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 removes more of the surface.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Craigend

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Craigend, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
