Bath re-enamelling in Briar Hill

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Briar Hill

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Briar Hill?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Briar Hill as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For anyone letting property in or around Briar Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Briar Hill

Are there extra charges for Briar Hill?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Are you a vetted contractor?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
