Bath re-enamelling near Broom Hill

Bath re-enamelling in Broom Hill without replacing anything

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Have chips seen to early

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Broom Hill

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Take a look at our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Questions from Broom Hill

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Common problems we fix in Broom Hill

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
