Bath Re-enamelling for Annanhill homes
Bath re-enamelling across Annanhill and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Annanhill
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Annanhill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

When to call us in Annanhill
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- What prep work is covered
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
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’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Annanhill
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
