Bath re-enamelling near Riddrie

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Riddrie

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Riddrie?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Common questions in Riddrie

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Riddrie?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Riddrie. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Riddrie

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
