Bath re-enamelling in Glencaple, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. 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, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Glencaple. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
