About our bath re-enamelling in Newton Mearns
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Newton Mearns and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Newton Mearns. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything

The most common problems we are called about are:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.

Advice
Common questions in Newton Mearns
What areas do you cover?
All of East Renfrewshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
