Bath re-enamelling at your home in Brosscroft

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Brosscroft

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brosscroft use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Brosscroft: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
