Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Boreham?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Boreham

Do you work in Boreham?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Boreham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What bath re-enamelling costs

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
