About our bath re-enamelling in Rutherglen
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Rutherglen
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Rutherglen
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
