Bath re-enamelling in Hampstead Norreys, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hampstead Norreys as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Should you replace it?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

FAQs for Hampstead Norreys

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
