About our bath re-enamelling in Bramford
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Bramford: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover Bramford?
We do. We send a technician to Bramford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price

Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bramford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bramford
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work
