Bath re-enamelling at your home in Glen Village

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Glen Village and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common problems we fix in Glen Village

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.

Common questions in Glen Village

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Glen Village. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
