Bath re-enamelling at your home in Harlesden

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Harlesden. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NW10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Harlesden

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What we’re called out for in Harlesden

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
