How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

If you’re in Brandy Hole and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Bath re-enamelling in Brandy Hole, done in place

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Brandy Hole

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Brandy Hole, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Brandy Hole: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
