Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bramcote

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bramcote

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. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Bramcote get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bramcote

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Bramcote

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath that’s rusted through

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

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Bramcote clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
