Bath re-enamelling in Glais without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Glais

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
