Bath re-enamelling in Bankglen without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Bankglen: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bankglen use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bankglen
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
