Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace in Clapham Junction?

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in Clapham Junction

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
