Bath re-enamelling in Brockford Street, done in place

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Brockford Street

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brockford Street

Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Brockford Street. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
