Bath re-enamelling near Braithwaite

About our bath re-enamelling in Braithwaite

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We’re frequently asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Braithwaite. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Braithwaite?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Braithwaite. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Braithwaite, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Braithwaite, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

FAQs for Braithwaite

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the new finish last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
