Bath re-enamelling near Braeside

About our bath re-enamelling in Braeside

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Braeside

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
