Bath re-enamelling in Broxted, 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, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Broxted and across Essex.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broxted

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Broxted

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Broxted?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we are called out for in Broxted

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
