How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Croftfoot without replacing anything

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Croftfoot questions

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

When to call us in Croftfoot

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Croftfoot. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Croftfoot

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Glasgow and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
