Bath re-enamelling in Greta Bridge, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Greta Bridge?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Wear marks under the taps
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Common questions in Greta Bridge
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to Greta Bridge?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Greta Bridge for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Are there extra charges for Greta Bridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t 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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather 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, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
