Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brogborough
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Brogborough questions
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common problems we fix in Brogborough
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Brogborough. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
