Common questions in Broadbridge

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Broadbridge?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadbridge

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadbridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

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

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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