FAQs for Broughton
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What we cannot put right

- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Broughton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Broughton
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Broughton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Broughton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
