About our bath re-enamelling in Glenbrook
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glenbrook as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- 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 until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What affects the price in Glenbrook
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Glenbrook: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
