How we handle bath re-enamelling in Yorkhill
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Yorkhill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
If you manage property in Yorkhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Yorkhill: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Yorkhill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Yorkhill?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Yorkhill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What else we do in Yorkhill
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
