About our bath re-enamelling in Broadwater Down

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Broadwater Down

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Broadwater Down

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Broadwater Down contact us include:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Broadwater Down, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
