FAQs for Bragar
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bragar
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Bragar. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What we are called out for in Bragar
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
