Bath re-enamelling in Broadwath, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

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

Advice

What we’re called out for in Broadwath

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

Broadwath: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

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