What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gunnersbury

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Should you replace it?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. 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 book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Questions from Gunnersbury

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Gunnersbury

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

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
