Need bath re-enamelling in Brockley Hill?

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

About our bath re-enamelling in Brockley Hill

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Brockley Hill and across Greater London.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Brockley Hill. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Brockley Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Brockley Hill

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
