Bath re-enamelling in Riggend without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Lanarkshire.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes most of the day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Riggend, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Riggend
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Riggend. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price

- One picture of the whole bath

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Riggend
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
