Bath re-enamelling in Brafield-on-the-Green

Bath re-enamelling in Brafield-on-the-Green without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brafield-on-the-Green?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Brafield-on-the-Green: your questions answered

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
