Bath Re-enamelling in Lower Gravenhurst
Local bath re-enamelling for Lower Gravenhurst: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350

- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling in Lower Gravenhurst without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Lower Gravenhurst questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
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 happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lower Gravenhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Lower Gravenhurst get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. 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.
