When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bredhurst

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Bredhurst

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bredhurst. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Bredhurst

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Common problems we fix in Bredhurst

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Common reasons people in Bredhurst contact us are:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Questions from Bredhurst

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

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

Do you work in Bredhurst?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Bredhurst. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
