Bath re-enamelling in Grange Hill, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Common questions in Grange Hill
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you come to Grange Hill?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Grange Hill. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Repair or replace in Grange Hill?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Typically one visit, start to finish
- One price list for the whole UK

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Grange Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
