Bath re-enamelling in Glenfield without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Glenfield: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Glenfield?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
