Bath re-enamelling near Carshalton

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Carshalton

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Carshalton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs

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 the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Honest limits

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

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

Materials we work on in Carshalton

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carshalton

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carshalton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
