Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us

- Straight answers about what a repair can do

Bath re-enamelling in Glass Houghton without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, we can typically put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Glass Houghton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

More services for Glass Houghton
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Glass Houghton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Landlord and trade work in Glass Houghton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
