Questions from Brabourne Lees

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Brabourne Lees?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work in Brabourne Lees?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Brabourne Lees from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How do I book?

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

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. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price
