How we handle bath re-enamelling in Brook Street

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Brook Street

Do you work in Brook Street?

We do. Technicians travel to Brook Street from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Will the new finish last?

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.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Brook Street

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in Brook Street, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Brook Street

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

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What we are called out for in Brook Street

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
