How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Kilmichael Glassary
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kilmichael Glassary. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
