Trusted bath re-enamelling in Braughing

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Braughing

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

When to call us in Braughing

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before booking

Landlord and trade work in Braughing

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Braughing use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Braughing

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SG11 postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

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

Do you cover Braughing?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Braughing for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Never use suction bath mats

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths

What affects the price in Braughing

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
