About our bath re-enamelling in Grendon Underwood
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Grendon Underwood and across Buckinghamshire.

Grendon Underwood: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Grendon Underwood included. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Grendon Underwood?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Grendon Underwood. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Grendon Underwood
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Grendon Underwood contact us are:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Stains that won’t shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include

- What aftercare is recommended
