Bath re-enamelling in Langside without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Langside
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Langside.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Langside, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
