Trusted bath re-enamelling in Brookmans Park

When to call us in Brookmans Park

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Bath re-enamelling in Brookmans Park without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Brookmans Park and across Hertfordshire.

What affects the price in Brookmans Park

Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Brookmans Park. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Brookmans Park. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Brookmans Park questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Brookmans Park?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Brookmans Park

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
