Bath re-enamelling in Bracebridge, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Questions from Bracebridge

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bracebridge.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
