Questions from Dalmarnock

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Dalmarnock

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
