How we handle bath re-enamelling in Grimstone End

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Grimstone End
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Grimstone End: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Grimstone End. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
