Bath re-enamelling for Bro Machno homes

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.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bro Machno

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Bro Machno

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Bro Machno

Common questions in Bro Machno

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Bro Machno is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Bro Machno?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Bro Machno clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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