DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Bath re-enamelling in North Grimston, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for North Grimston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
