Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Glasshouses
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include

Common questions in Glasshouses
Do you come to Glasshouses?
We do. We send a technician to Glasshouses for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Glasshouses. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Glasshouses. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
