What affects the price in Tradeston
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Tradeston. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Tradeston, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Tradeston?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
