About our bath re-enamelling in Bratton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bratton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Bratton: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Bratton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bratton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
