Bath re-enamelling for Broadstone homes

Bath re-enamelling in Broadstone without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Broadstone

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Do you cover Broadstone?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Broadstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repairing versus replacing in Broadstone

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
