Bath re-enamelling for Brunthwaite homes

Bath re-enamelling in Brunthwaite, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and thin, worn enamel in places, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brunthwaite

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Brunthwaite

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Brunthwaite

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
