Great Bradley questions

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Great Bradley?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CB8 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Bath re-enamelling in Great Bradley without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When to call us in Great Bradley

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The things clients typically mention when they call include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
