Bath re-enamelling in Broughton, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Landlord and trade work in Broughton
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Broughton
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
FAQs for Broughton
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover the entire of Milton Keynes?
Everywhere in the UK, Broughton included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Milton Keynes.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
