Bath re-enamelling for Anslow Gate homes

Bath re-enamelling in Anslow Gate without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Anslow Gate

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Anslow Gate

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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