Need bath re-enamelling in Brentry?

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Brentry. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Bath re-enamelling in Brentry, done in place

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are wear marks under the taps and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

Common problems we fix in Brentry

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Brentry: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
