- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches

- How the colour is matched

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brettenham
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brettenham. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
If you’re in Brettenham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brettenham use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

Brettenham questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you cover Brettenham?
We do. We send a technician to Brettenham for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brettenham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
