Bath re-enamelling for Long Bredy homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Long Bredy

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Long Bredy

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Long Bredy

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Will there be fumes?

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

Do you come to Long Bredy?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Long Bredy for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Long Bredy?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
