Bath re-enamelling in The Grange without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The Grange: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When to call us in The Grange
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Aftercare advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What affects the price in The Grange
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
