Bath re-enamelling in Grotton, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

FAQs for Grotton
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you work in Grotton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Grotton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grotton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When to call us in Grotton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price covers travel
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
