Questions from Charlton

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do I have to be there?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charlton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Charlton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that is failing

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

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.
