Bath re-enamelling in Forgewood, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Forgewood
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we are called out for in Forgewood
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
Landlords, agents and businesses in Forgewood
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
