Bath re-enamelling at your home in Broad Oak
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Broad Oak
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Broad Oak
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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 normally cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Broad Oak. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Broad Oak
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Broad Oak?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repair or replace in Broad Oak?
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 without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
