Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lightburn
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Lightburn?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Our visits in G32, G33 and G31 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. That includes homes on Glen Road, Glen Avenue and Strone Road. Nearby, we also work in Cranhill (1 mile north), Greenfield (1 mile south), Springboig (1 mile east), Budhill (1 mile south-east) and Shettleston (1 mile south).

Around Lightburn
We visit homes around Glasgow, Eastbank Academy and St Andrew's Secondary School. The closest station to Lightburn is Carntyne station, roughly 0.5 miles south-west of the centre.

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Lightburn, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address 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. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Lightburn
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lightburn?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for these signs:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
