About our bath re-enamelling in Coombe

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Coombe?

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Coombe

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Coombe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Coombe. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Coombe?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

Everywhere in the UK, Coombe included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Coombe

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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 until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
