How we handle bath re-enamelling in Dulwich

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Dulwich?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Questions from Dulwich

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Dulwich?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dulwich and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dulwich.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.

  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. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
