Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bradwell

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlord and trade work in Bradwell

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bradwell

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Bradwell

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Repairing versus replacing in Bradwell

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Bradwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bradwell. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
