Bath re-enamelling in North Kelvinside, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

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 we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in North Kelvinside
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Common problems we fix in North Kelvinside
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions from North Kelvinside
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Kelvinside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
For a price in North Kelvinside, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
