Bath re-enamelling in Brandon, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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 the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What affects the price in Brandon
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 quote the same day in most cases.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brandon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repairing versus replacing in Brandon
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

FAQs for Brandon
I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
