Bath re-enamelling for Brookstreet homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Brookstreet

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Brookstreet, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Brookstreet

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Brookstreet

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before you book anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Related advice

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.
