Trusted bath re-enamelling in Canary Wharf

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Canary Wharf

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Canary Wharf

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Canary Wharf

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Canary Wharf?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
