About our bath re-enamelling in Bradbourne
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlord and trade work in Bradbourne
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common problems we fix in Bradbourne
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Advice
Common questions in Bradbourne
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
