Bath re-enamelling in Glassford, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Glassford as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Glassford

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Glassford?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repair or replace in Glassford?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

When to call us in Glassford

Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Glassford

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