Bath re-enamelling in Great Bricett, done in place

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Great Bricett and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Bricett. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Great Bricett

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture 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 you are under no obligation.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Great Bricett questions

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

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

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you work in Great Bricett?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Great Bricett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Bricett

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
