Trusted bath re-enamelling in Higher Broughton

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Bath re-enamelling in Higher Broughton, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Common problems we fix in Higher Broughton

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
