Bath re-enamelling near Holloway

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. 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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Holloway without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Holloway: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Holloway and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Holloway

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Holloway

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Holloway. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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