Trusted bath re-enamelling in Bringhurst

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bringhurst

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Bringhurst

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Bringhurst

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
