How we handle bath re-enamelling in Glapwell
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

- An old resurfacing that is failing

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
FAQs for Glapwell
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Glapwell?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Glapwell. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
