About our bath re-enamelling in Nerston

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Nerston and across South Lanarkshire.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

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

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Nerston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Nerston: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

What information do you need?

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

Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Nerston included. Travel is included in the price.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
