Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grove as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Bath re-enamelling in Grove, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Grove
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Grove.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for Grove?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When to call us in Grove
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
