About our bath re-enamelling in Parkhouse
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Parkhouse as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Glasgow and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Parkhouse?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Parkhouse questions
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Parkhouse is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What else we do in Parkhouse
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
