Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Waterfoot, East Renfrewshire
Problem with your bath in Waterfoot? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Waterfoot
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Waterfoot. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
