About our bath re-enamelling in Brades Village
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Brades Village
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- 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
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Brades Village
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches

Repairing versus replacing in Brades Village
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Landlord and trade work in Brades Village
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brades Village as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
