Bath re-enamelling for Brookville homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brookville

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brookville as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

Brookville questions

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover Brookville?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Brookville from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brookville

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brookville as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Brookville

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
