Bath re-enamelling in Brading, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Brading
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brading. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Brading, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brading
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brading?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Brading
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
