Bath re-enamelling at your home in Kilsyth
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. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Kilsyth
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilsyth
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilsyth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Kilsyth
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Comparing quotes
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
