How we handle bath re-enamelling in Grindiscol
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Grindiscol. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Landlord and trade work in Grindiscol
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grindiscol use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
