Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cowlairs
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Cowlairs
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Cowlairs
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cowlairs
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cowlairs and the rest of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
