Bath re-enamelling in Branbridges, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What affects the price in Branbridges
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Branbridges

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Common questions in Branbridges
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover Branbridges?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Branbridges. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
