About our bath re-enamelling in Brooksbottoms
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Brooksbottoms
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brooksbottoms
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Brooksbottoms
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brooksbottoms?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Brooksbottoms. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire bath
If you are in Brooksbottoms and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
