Bath re-enamelling in Great Brynhill without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Great Brynhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Brynhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Repair or replace in Great Brynhill?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Choosing a repair company

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Great Brynhill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
