About our bath re-enamelling in Grindle

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Grindle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairing versus replacing in Grindle

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Grindle questions

Are there extra charges for Grindle?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you work in Grindle?

We do. Technicians travel to Grindle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
