Bath re-enamelling in Grantham

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grantham

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Grantham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grantham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

What affects the price in Grantham

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What we are called out for in Grantham

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Grantham

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.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 normally cheaper.
