Bath re-enamelling in Denham Street

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling in Denham Street without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places, we can usually put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Denham Street

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

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

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is my repair covered?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Denham Street. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we are called out for in Denham Street

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
