Bath re-enamelling in Glasshouse, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Glasshouse?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Glasshouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Glasshouse: your questions answered

Do you work in Glasshouse?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Glasshouse and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Are there extra charges for Glasshouse?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Glasshouse?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Glasshouse

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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 what we repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Glasshouse. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Glasshouse

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
