How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brentor

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

  • Victorian roll-tops

FAQs for Brentor

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Brentor?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

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. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brentor

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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