Bath re-enamelling for Paisley homes

When to call us in Paisley

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Paisley, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Paisley questions

Is my repair covered?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Paisley and the rest of Renfrewshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Paisley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Have chips seen to early

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Paisley

Repairing versus replacing in Paisley

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
