For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gremista as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
About our bath re-enamelling in Gremista
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and stains that won’t shift, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Gremista
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we cannot put right

- A bath split right through the body

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
