How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kinning Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairing versus replacing in Kinning Park
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, 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 we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Kinning Park
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Questions from Kinning Park
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Glasgow.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
