Bath re-enamelling near Braishfield

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Common problems we fix in Braishfield

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Braishfield questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
