Bath re-enamelling for Bratton Seymour homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bratton Seymour

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bratton Seymour and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

  • Work done at your home or business

  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How the visit 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, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Bratton Seymour: your questions answered

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

When to call us in Bratton Seymour

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
