Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Landlord and trade work in Brea

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

Questions from Brea

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brea?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Brea and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Honest limits

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

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Brea?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Brea, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a full day.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

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