Trusted bath re-enamelling in Brassington

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brassington

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and staining under the taps and around the waste.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brassington

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

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

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Brassington

What affects the price in Brassington

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Brassington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

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 price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

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.
