Bath re-enamelling for Clapham Green homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

Most clients in Clapham Green get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Bath re-enamelling in Clapham Green, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clapham Green as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Related advice

What we are called out for in Clapham Green

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
