About our bath re-enamelling in Brownbread Street

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

FAQs for Brownbread Street

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

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.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we are called out for in Brownbread Street

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Brownbread Street

If you manage property in Brownbread Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What affects the price in Brownbread Street

Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Brownbread Street. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
