Bath re-enamelling for Broadgate homes

Repair or replace in Broadgate?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colour-matched on site

Bath re-enamelling in Broadgate without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the price in Broadgate

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you’re in Broadgate and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Broadgate

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

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Broadgate

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadgate

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broadgate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
