Bath re-enamelling in New Lanark without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Lanark as everywhere else we work.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we work on in New Lanark

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Lanark. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

New Lanark questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
