Bath re-enamelling for Angel homes

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Angel

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Angel

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How soon can you come?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you work in Angel?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Angel. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Angel?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

Landlords, agents and businesses in Angel

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Angel, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Angel

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
