How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Grove use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in The Grove
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long it needs to cure
What affects the price in The Grove
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in The Grove
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from The Grove
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you come to The Grove?
We do. We send a technician to The Grove for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NR10 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
