Bath re-enamelling in Barnehurst, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Common questions in Barnehurst

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Are there extra charges for Barnehurst?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace in Barnehurst?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
