Need bath re-enamelling in Charing Hill?

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Charing Hill?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Charing Hill without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Charing Hill. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Charing Hill: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Charing Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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 it’s guaranteed for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Roll-top and period baths

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

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 most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Charing Hill

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
