If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Bickley

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bickley?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Have chips seen to early

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

What we can’t put right

  • A metal bath with a through crack

  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Bickley

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Bickley. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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