Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Hampstead Garden Suburb is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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 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.

When to call us in Hampstead Garden Suburb

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

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 for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
