How we handle bath re-enamelling in Broom
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- 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 if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Broom
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What affects the price in Broom
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Broom. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Repairing versus replacing in Broom
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Broom, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Broom
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Broom.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
