When to call us in High Brooms

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in High Brooms without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Brooms

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

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

What affects the price in High Brooms

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to High Brooms. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in High Brooms get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
