Bath re-enamelling at your home in Haughhead
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Haughhead and across East Dunbartonshire.

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Haughhead. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Haughhead, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Haughhead
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Repairing versus replacing in Haughhead
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- Generally one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haughhead use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Common problems we fix in Haughhead
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
