How we handle bath re-enamelling in Greenlees
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Greenlees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Common questions in Greenlees
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work in Greenlees?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Greenlees and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is 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 will reply with a fixed price.
