Bridgehill questions
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bath re-enamelling in Bridgehill without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, 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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bridgehill

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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
If you manage property in Bridgehill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
