Bath re-enamelling in Colliers Wood

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Colliers Wood

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Colliers Wood: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How long is the bath unusable?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Colliers Wood

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
