Bath re-enamelling for Brendon homes

Bath re-enamelling in Brendon without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Brendon

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Brendon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

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

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Brendon: your questions answered

Do you work in Brendon?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Brendon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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’s the part we put right.

What we are called out for in Brendon

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
