Bath re-enamelling for Strathbungo homes

Bath re-enamelling in Strathbungo, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairing versus replacing in Strathbungo

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Strathbungo, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Strathbungo

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strathbungo

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Strathbungo?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
