Trusted bath re-enamelling in Greengate

Bath re-enamelling in Greengate without replacing anything

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Greengate clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

10 questions to ask before booking

Greengate: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
