About our bath re-enamelling in Brough

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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 frequently lifts.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Brough

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Brough: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Brough?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Brough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you accredited?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Brough customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What affects the price in Brough

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Brough. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
