Bath re-enamelling near Cricklewood

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cricklewood?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Bath re-enamelling in Cricklewood without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and lots of chips and rust spots.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Different materials, different repairs

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 needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Cricklewood

What affects the price in Cricklewood

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Cricklewood. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add 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.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Cricklewood

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are there extra charges for Cricklewood?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Greater London.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Repairing versus replacing in Cricklewood

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
