FAQs for Drumchapel
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Drumchapel?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Landlord and trade work in Drumchapel
If you manage property in Drumchapel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Work done at your home or business
- A fixed quote before you book
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
