Bath re-enamelling in High Blantyre

How we handle bath re-enamelling in High Blantyre

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in High Blantyre

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in High Blantyre contact us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in High Blantyre

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

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in High Blantyre?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your G72 postcode.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Blantyre

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, 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, then guarantee it for a year.
