About our bath re-enamelling in Simshill
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.

- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Simshill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Simshill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Simshill
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Do you cover the whole of Glasgow?
All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Simshill. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
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 pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Simshill
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
