How we handle bath re-enamelling in Glatton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Glatton
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Glatton?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PE28 postcode.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Glatton, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
