Bath re-enamelling in Grindale, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grindale?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grindale use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grindale

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Grindale is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
