How we handle bath re-enamelling in Merrylee

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions from Merrylee

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you cover the entire of Glasgow?

We cover the whole UK, including Merrylee and the rest of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Glasgow.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Merrylee

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlord and trade work in Merrylee

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
