Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trimdon Grange
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Trimdon Grange
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Trimdon Grange. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Trimdon Grange. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
Trimdon Grange: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace in Trimdon Grange?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trimdon Grange use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
