How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thankerton
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Thankerton and across South Lanarkshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thankerton
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Thankerton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thankerton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Thankerton, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
