Bath re-enamelling in Bromley

Bath re-enamelling in Bromley without replacing anything

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Common problems we fix in Bromley

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Bromley: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
