Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited 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 Park Corner

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you work in High Park Corner?

We do. We send a technician to High Park Corner for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why High Park Corner customers choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around High Park Corner, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you’re in High Park Corner and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in High Park Corner?

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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, then guarantee it for a year.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
