The most common problems we are called about are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Gledhow: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
