Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gringley on the Hill

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Repair or replace in Gringley on the Hill?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gringley on the Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Gringley on the Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Questions from Gringley on the Hill

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gringley on the Hill?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Gringley on the Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gringley on the Hill and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gringley on the Hill. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most clients in Gringley on the Hill get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
