How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gretton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common questions in Gretton
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Gretton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gretton and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Gretton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gretton?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Gretton?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 pictures.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
