We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Broad Oak

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Broad Oak

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Are there extra charges for Broad Oak?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Herefordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Broad Oak. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

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 pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Broad Oak

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
