Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brompton-by-Sawdon

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brompton-by-Sawdon. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Brompton-by-Sawdon

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Common problems we fix in Brompton-by-Sawdon

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:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
