Bath re-enamelling in Glascoed, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Glascoed
What areas do you cover?

Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
