Bath Re-enamelling for Busby homes
Damaged bath in Busby? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Busby
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Busby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Common problems we fix in Busby
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing

What else we do in Busby
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. 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 check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Busby. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Busby and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
