Bath re-enamelling in Broadwaters

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Broadwaters

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Broadwaters and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DY10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Broadwaters

Do you work in Broadwaters?

We do. We send a technician to Broadwaters for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadwaters

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Worcestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Broadwaters

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

How to care for the repair

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

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
