Trusted bath re-enamelling in Mollinsburn

Bath re-enamelling in Mollinsburn without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Mollinsburn

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mollinsburn

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Mollinsburn

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
