How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wanlockhead
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wanlockhead
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of South Lanarkshire?
All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Landlord and trade work in Wanlockhead
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Typically one visit, start to finish

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wanlockhead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
