Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Glenboi
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
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 do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Glenboi
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and several chips and rust patches, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Glenboi
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Glenboi?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Glenboi. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
