Bath re-enamelling near Bradwell

Bath re-enamelling in Bradwell without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Stoke-on-Trent.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bradwell?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Bradwell questions

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

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.

Do you cover Bradwell?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Bradwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Bradwell

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bradwell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
