Bath re-enamelling in Bradley

Repair or replace in Bradley?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our bath re-enamelling in Bradley

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bradley and across North East Lincolnshire.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from Bradley

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will the new finish last?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bradley

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
