Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bradfield St Clare

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bradfield St Clare as everywhere else we work.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

When to call us in Bradfield St Clare

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

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 the best part of a day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What affects the price in Bradfield St Clare

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Bradfield St Clare. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
