10 questions to ask before booking

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Little Glemham

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Little Glemham. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Little Glemham

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Little Glemham?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Little Glemham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
