Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bradwell

Bradwell: your questions answered

Do you come to Bradwell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bradwell and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Are there extra charges for Bradwell?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bradwell

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Acrylic

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bradwell?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
