Bath re-enamelling in Broughtown, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Broughtown?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Before you book anyone

- What aftercare is recommended

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
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.
Broughtown questions
Are there extra charges for Broughtown?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
