Bath re-enamelling in Hillhead without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Hillhead
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Hillhead
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hillhead
Do you work in Hillhead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hillhead and the rest of Glasgow. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Hillhead and the rest of Glasgow. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
