Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Glooston

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Will the new finish last?

Bath re-enamelling in Glooston without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LE16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
