Need bath re-enamelling in Chingford?

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally 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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Bath re-enamelling in Chingford, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chingford

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Chingford

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repairs by material

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 the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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 do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chingford. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Chingford questions

Will the bath be moved?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
