How we handle bath re-enamelling in Partick

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Partick

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Partick. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

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

Materials we work on in Partick

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Partick

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Partick. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
