Bath re-enamelling at your home in Broad Ford
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Broad Ford
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Broad Ford. The price reflects:

- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Broad Ford: your questions answered
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are there extra charges for Broad Ford?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Broad Ford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Broad Ford
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
