Bath re-enamelling near East Peckham

Bath re-enamelling in East Peckham, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the entire UK

What affects the price in East Peckham

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to East Peckham. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in East Peckham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in East Peckham

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site

FAQs for East Peckham

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

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.

Do you cover East Peckham?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Peckham and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
