Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Groes

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Groes

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Groes

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Common questions in Groes

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do you cover the entire of Denbighshire?

The entire UK, including all of Denbighshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

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

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
