How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brancepeth
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brancepeth as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What else we do in Brancepeth
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Brancepeth: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Are there extra charges for Brancepeth?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brancepeth?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
