Trusted bath re-enamelling in Clapham

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Clapham. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Clapham without replacing anything

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Clapham and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clapham

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Questions from Clapham

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Clapham?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

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

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
