Repairing versus replacing in Gromford
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gromford
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Gromford
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
We cover the whole UK, including Gromford and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gromford?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things clients generally mention when they call include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
