Trusted bath re-enamelling in Brampton

Bath re-enamelling in Brampton, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brampton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Brampton

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

We work UK-wide, so Brampton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Brampton?

We do. We send a technician to Brampton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
