About our bath re-enamelling in Balloch
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Balloch and across West Dunbartonshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Balloch
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 is the part we put right.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Balloch
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
