Trusted bath re-enamelling in Eastcote

Bath re-enamelling in Eastcote, done in place

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

FAQs for Eastcote

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

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

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Common problems we fix in Eastcote

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Eastcote clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit

See our prices page and bath cost comparison.

How it works

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

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
