Bath Re-enamelling for Grimsby homes

Bath re-enamelling in Grimsby, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Grimsby questions
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
All of North East Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
When can you do it?
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 my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
When to call us in Grimsby
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting 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’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
