Book bath re-enamelling in Breachwood Green

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Breachwood Green

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

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?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Breachwood Green questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Breachwood Green included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are there extra charges for Breachwood Green?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you come to Breachwood Green?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Breachwood Green. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

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 work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Breachwood Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
