Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Royston
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Royston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Royston and the rest of Glasgow. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
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 repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Royston
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Most clients in Royston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

For anyone letting property in or around Royston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
