DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Clarkston
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- 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 usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Clarkston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Clarkston
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
