How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brasted Chart

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Brasted Chart?

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Common questions in Brasted Chart

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Brasted Chart and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brasted Chart?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlord and trade work in Brasted Chart

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brasted Chart use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
