Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Thorntonhall, South Lanarkshire
Our technicians come to Thorntonhall for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Thorntonhall
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re often asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Thorntonhall
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thorntonhall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
