Repairing versus replacing in Brightling
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Bath re-enamelling in Brightling, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Brightling
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brightling use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Brightling: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Brightling. Prices do not change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
