How we handle bath re-enamelling in Grimston

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leicestershire.

Repair or replace in Grimston?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Common problems we fix in Grimston

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Grimston: your questions answered

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Grimston?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you work in Grimston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Grimston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow most of the day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
