Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grimeston
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Grimeston questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you work in Grimeston?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Grimeston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Grimeston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
