Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Questions from Brent Pelham

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Brent Pelham?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SG9 postcode.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Brent Pelham and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Are there extra charges for Brent Pelham?

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

Landlord and trade work in Brent Pelham

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brent Pelham as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common problems we fix in Brent Pelham

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that won’t shift

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

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

Materials we repair

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
