Bath re-enamelling at your home in Shettleston
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What we’re called out for in Shettleston
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What affects the price in Shettleston
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shettleston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shettleston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
