Bath re-enamelling for Brighstone homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brighstone

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Our hiring checklist

Brighstone: your questions answered

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PO30 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

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 with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.
