Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Glasson
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Repairing versus replacing in Glasson
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Glasson. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Glasson
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
