Bath re-enamelling for Brightwell-cum-Sotwell homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brightwell-cum-Sotwell. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Brightwell-cum-Sotwell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brightwell-cum-Sotwell as well as householders. 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 are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
