Bath re-enamelling near Quarter

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Quarter?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Quarter, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Quarter and across South Lanarkshire.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Quarter use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Quarter, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Quarter. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Quarter: your questions answered

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
