Bath re-enamelling near Cadmore End

Bath re-enamelling in Cadmore End, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Cadmore End

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Cadmore End

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you come to Cadmore End?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Cadmore End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long does re-enamelling last?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
