Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bradwell on Sea

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM0 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Bradwell on Sea

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Bradwell on Sea, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Bradwell on Sea clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
