Bath re-enamelling for High Bradley homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our bath re-enamelling in High Bradley

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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in High Bradley

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repairing versus replacing in High Bradley

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Questions from High Bradley

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
