A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in Finnieston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Finnieston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Finnieston

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

What affects the price in Finnieston

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Finnieston. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Finnieston

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Finnieston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
