Bath re-enamelling in The Brents

The Brents questions

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

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.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in The Brents?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ME13 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you come to The Brents?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Brents. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Bath re-enamelling in The Brents without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Advice

Repairs by material

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’s what we repair.

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.

What we are called out for in The Brents

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • When it can be used again
