About our bath re-enamelling in Kelvingrove
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and wear marks under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

What affects the price in Kelvingrove
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Questions from Kelvingrove
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Kelvingrove, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Kelvingrove
