Bath re-enamelling for Homerton homes

Bath re-enamelling in Homerton, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Homerton questions

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

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. Inside and out.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Homerton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts 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.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
