How we handle bath re-enamelling in North Brentor

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in North Brentor as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in North Brentor?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Our hiring checklist

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for North Brentor. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in North Brentor, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around North Brentor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

North Brentor questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
