Bath re-enamelling in Grimpo, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grimpo
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Grimpo?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Grimpo?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Grimpo
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- If travel is included in the price
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
