Repairing versus replacing in Brentford

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

When to call us in Brentford

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Brentford

  • Cast iron baths

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brentford

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you work in Brentford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brentford. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brentford?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Brentford. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
