Bath re-enamelling in Robroyston without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Robroyston. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
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.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Robroyston questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What else we do in Robroyston
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
