About our bath re-enamelling in Grafton Regis
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grafton Regis
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

- One price list for the entire UK

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Grafton Regis
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
