Repairing versus replacing in Parkhead
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Bath re-enamelling in Parkhead, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

FAQs for Parkhead
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Glasgow. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Common problems we fix in Parkhead
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
