Bath re-enamelling in Port Glasgow, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Landlord and trade work in Port Glasgow
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Glasgow use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Port Glasgow questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
