Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brockton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are often asked to fix chips and rust in more than one place and wear marks under the taps, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brockton. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brockton

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

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Several chips and rust patches

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Common questions in Brockton

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Are you accredited?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

How do I book?

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

Repair or replace in Brockton?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
