Bath re-enamelling for Bradley homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bradley

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are often asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Bradley

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Common problems we fix in Bradley

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bradley. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

We don’t 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.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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

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 resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bradley

For anyone letting property in or around Bradley, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
