Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cardross
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cardross and across West Dunbartonshire.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price

Landlord and trade work in Cardross
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Cardross
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Cardross questions
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Cardross is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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 check it carefully.
