How we handle bath re-enamelling in Upper Gravenhurst
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Gravenhurst
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Upper Gravenhurst, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack

Questions from Upper Gravenhurst
Do you work in Upper Gravenhurst?
We do. We send a technician to Upper Gravenhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When to call us in Upper Gravenhurst
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
