Book bath re-enamelling in Brookside

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath re-enamelling in Brookside without replacing anything

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Brookside

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area

Brookside questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brookside

  • Acrylic baths

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
