What affects the price in Grenoside
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Grenoside. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grenoside
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and wear marks under the taps.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace in Grenoside?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Grenoside
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
