For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What affects the price in Grewelthorpe
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Grewelthorpe and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack

Grewelthorpe: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Grewelthorpe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Grewelthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Grewelthorpe
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel 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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
