Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bream
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Bream questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Bream, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we are called out for in Bream
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again
- How to look after the finish
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
