Bath re-enamelling for Gracca homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Gracca

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures

  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Gracca

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Common reasons people in Gracca contact us include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

How to compare quotes

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Gracca

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
