Bath re-enamelling near Cambridge Heath

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Cambridge Heath

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cambridge Heath?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

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

What we work on

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

Cambridge Heath questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Cambridge Heath?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your E2 postcode.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Cambridge Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Cambridge Heath

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
