How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a 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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Repairing versus replacing in Grinshill

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. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Grinshill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Grinshill

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Grinshill. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most clients in Grinshill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Grinshill

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

FAQs for Grinshill

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What areas do you cover?

All of Shropshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Grinshill?

We do. Technicians travel to Grinshill from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

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.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
