Bath Re-enamelling in Garnethill
Problem with your bath in Garnethill? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Garnethill, done in place
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Garnethill
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
