Questions from Lanark

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Lanark. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lanark

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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’s what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Lanark

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Lanark. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we are called out for in Lanark

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
