Bath re-enamelling in Broadley Common, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and wear marks under the taps.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Broadley Common questions

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Broadley Common?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EN9 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Honest limits

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

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Broadley Common

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
