How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Most customers in Groombridge get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Questions from Groombridge
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Groombridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Groombridge?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Groombridge. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Groombridge use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
