Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grove Park
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Grove Park. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote

- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Grove Park
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
