DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Grindley Brook. The price depends on:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Grindley Brook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: 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. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Common questions in Grindley Brook
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Grindley Brook?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grindley Brook?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace in Grindley Brook?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
