Bath re-enamelling in Grove, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Grove. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grove
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grove?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A fixed quote before you book
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
