How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hutchesontown

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hutchesontown: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do you work in Hutchesontown?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hutchesontown. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Common problems we fix in Hutchesontown

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
