Bath re-enamelling in High Bray

Do you need bath re-enamelling in High Bray?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling at your home in High Bray

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

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

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Common questions in High Bray

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so High Bray is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in High Bray?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What affects the price in High Bray

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including High Bray. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around High Bray, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
