Bath re-enamelling near High Barnet

About our bath re-enamelling in High Barnet

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and several chips and rust patches.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

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

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for High Barnet. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in High Barnet

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to High Barnet?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to High Barnet and the rest of Greater London. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in High Barnet

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
