Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brackenfield
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Brackenfield
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Brackenfield
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.

Brackenfield: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you work in Brackenfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brackenfield. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Repair or replace in Brackenfield?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlord and trade work in Brackenfield
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
