Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grassthorpe

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Grassthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grassthorpe?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Comparing quotes

  • How the colour is matched
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Grassthorpe: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Grassthorpe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grassthorpe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grassthorpe as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
