Do you need bath re-enamelling in Toryglen?
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Look out for these signs:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Toryglen. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G42 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on

Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Landlord and trade work in Toryglen
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
