Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bridgeton, Glasgow
Problem with your bath in Bridgeton? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Bridgeton without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Repair or replace in Bridgeton?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bridgeton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For a price in Bridgeton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bridgeton
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
