Trusted bath re-enamelling in Broom Hill

What affects the price in Broom Hill

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Broom Hill

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. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a 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. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

When to call us in Broom Hill

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Broom Hill

  • Acrylic baths

Repairing versus replacing in Broom Hill

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No extra charge for your area

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Broom Hill: your questions answered

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.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
