How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gleaston
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairing versus replacing in Gleaston
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gleaston?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Gleaston. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Gleaston questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Gleaston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
