About our bath re-enamelling in Brize Norton

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can usually put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

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 any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brize Norton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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’s the part we put right.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Brize Norton

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Brize Norton questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Are there extra charges for Brize Norton?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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