Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grovesend
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Grovesend: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Grovesend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
When to call us in Grovesend
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
