About our bath re-enamelling in Grizebeck

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Grizebeck

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grizebeck?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
