Need bath re-enamelling in Crouch End?

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crouch End

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Crouch End

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Crouch End. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Crouch End, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crouch End

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Does re-enamelling smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Crouch End. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crouch End.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Crouch End

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Stains that will not shift

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
