Bath re-enamelling in Harrow on the Hill

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Bath re-enamelling in Harrow on the Hill without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Harrow on the Hill

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Harrow on the Hill

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Harrow on the Hill

What information do you need?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long will the bath be out of use?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How long does re-enamelling last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
