What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Glebe Farm, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Glebe Farm: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Glebe Farm?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
