How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bredgar

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Bredgar questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Bredgar is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in Bredgar get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What we’re called out for in Bredgar

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why Bredgar customers choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
