Bath re-enamelling at your home in Broad Street

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an old resurfacing that’s failing 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Broad Street

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are

Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Broad Street, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
