Bath re-enamelling in Great Glemham, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Great Glemham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Great Glemham: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Great Glemham
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
