Bath re-enamelling in Bounds Green, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Bounds Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Bounds Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Bounds Green questions

Is there a smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Common problems we fix in Bounds Green

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the next day.

How to prepare

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

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
