What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Common problems we fix in Brookvale
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common questions in Brookvale
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you cover Brookvale?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Brookvale. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Brookvale and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
